I'm with Jenny on her assessment of this week: not very exciting. SO, here's my grand-tabulous plan!

Buy:(4) Pepsi 12-packs, 4/$12

Use:-(4) $0.25/1 Pepsi fridge pack-$8 ECB

Total Due: $3.00Get back: $3.00 ECB

............... Yep... That's it! I'm getting my cheap Pepsi for the spouse, taking my $3 ECB, and running. It will be weird to go back to CVS with only $3 ECB. These one-stop shopping trips have spoiled me good. :-)

I came over from southernsavers. I am in Knoxville, too, so "hello" from a fellow Knoxvillian. I have a quick question. Is it possible there are regional differences at CVS? I tried to buy John Frieda products that Jenny listed as generating ecbs (she said it was a monthly deal that happens to also be on sale this week). It did not give ecbs and was a HUGE problem for the cashier and managers to fix as I had paid with many coupons and ecbs. Finally got it straightened out. I have had this happen one other time while following her list. Thanks for any light you can shed on it. (If you or Jenny don't know, don't worry. I will call CVS on Monday and see if it varies from Knoxville to wherever she is in SC.)

My Profile

I'm not content if I don't have at least 6+ hobbies/interests that I can hop in/out of on a regular basis. I seem to constantly be on the search for the perfect pair of brown shoes, grey trousers, and "Day" dress (though I could probably live in jeans & sneakers or better: yoga pants). I have never been able to fathom $4 per DAY coffee habits but I can completely withstand the guilt from an occasional Starbucks Frappucino or Espresso Truffle. I love a good sense of humor, some dry sarcastic wit, a kind and thankful heart, and a fair dose of altruistic optimism. Glass-half-empty has very little place in my life. I am not "cheap" (my husband and I would kill each other, LOL) but I love getting stuff for way less than other people paid, and I'm more than happy to share my sources.
